Mr. Gingrich also agreed to return next week for an hour long conversation I would moderate about the issues facing America with either Mayor Giuliani or Governor Romney as his conversation partner if either (or both) of them agrees. I hope one or both will make the time as it is the sort of extended conversation about issues that would do much to raise the bar for the debates of ’07 and ’08. We will be getting the invitations out to both of those men asap. (The invite is there for Senators McCain and Thompson as well, but Mayor Giuliani and Governor Romney have thus far been willing to come onto my program for long form conversations.)
